Hello. I would be very glad if you could give me a help in this doubt that I have about shrugs. What is the correct positicon of your head when we are doing shrugs? Chin up or chin down? I used to do shrugs with my head in a neutral position and looking forward, however i have been seeing people telling that the chin should be down because when it is up it can compress your spine. In other and i have been seeing people teeling to keep your head straight, otherwise you can damage your discs. I have tried this at the gym and when i put my chin down a don't feel that pressure in my crevical spine. Could you give me a help to figure this out? What is the best form to do it? -
Thanks in advance m8; )

Do any of you actually lift weights? Everything this bloke is saying is 100% correct. Suicide grip/open grip is far superior to the closed grip, try it before you knock it. When I power lifted years ago, I always used a closed grip in competition, but trained with an open grip. He's absolutely correct, the closed grip does put more pressure to your wrists, and I did have injuries to my wrists and forearms, having four surgeries on my wrists to repair them. I've also had several shoulder injuries for the reasons he described here. Listen to people and open your mind to new ideas before completely disregarding someone's advice. Thanks Jim!

Producing force with your feet transferred to your hips, then to your torso and to your shoulders and then to your elbows and then to your wrist and to your radius and then to your scaphoid and then to your trapeziod, and then to your trapezium, and to your metacarpals and sesamoid if you are not using -suicide grip --, and finally to your proximal, middle and distal, will help you to maximaize your 1 rep max --

- So many people complaining about suicide grip vs closed grip. If you drop it, you had no business lifting that weight in the first place and/or need to work on grip strength. Just do what works best for you though. Suicide grip gives a much better idea of your grip strength, which is essential for pretty much all lifts.

DO NOT DO USE A THUMBLESS GRIP. This is so wrong go watch any other bench press tutorial. It is simply not worth it when you consider you could have a bar with hundreds of pounds landing on your sternum. I find it pathetic that a doctor is recommending a suicide grip. For god's sake its called a suicide grip for a reason.

Don-t bench with an suicide grip. This guys advice is just as bad as his supplements that are filled with fake sugar. Use your thumb. You can go heavier with the weight. Heavier the weight you move. The more developed your chest will become. Do 6-8 sets of 5 reps. Go heavy. Slow and controlled. Proper form of course.

All of the people saying -suicide grip blaah you're gonna die- probably never even tried it with the bar. Thumbs are hurting after I did 275 today. Gonna give it a shot with super light weight see how it feels. Bunch of people saying it works better and with no problems

Even though I know he is a professional, I never wanna try the ways he demonstrated in this video. Because it looks like to me that style is targeting more my tricep and lats, i tried it few years back and then never had thought to try that once again in my lifetime.

Sir, as you mentioned, that the bar needs to come down somewhere between upper abs and lower pecs and 'must go up and towards the face', I don't think it's gonna work for smith machine press. What's the trick for the same? Please do share.

Hmmm. Elbows tucked in at 30-60 degrees? Why don't we just split the difference and say 45 degrees - which is an angle that works bio mechanically with most of the human body. Sometimes it's better to keep it simple - I believe.
